Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Was I summoned to do jobs-so-high?
As a sentinel from the Sky?
A mobile warrior
Who shames and fears not
In bringing forth victories
For mankind’s
Enshrinement
In the glorious halls
Of Kosmos?
If so, then
Mankind!
You are my visible shield!
A shield that never dies
Is worthy of bigness
As colossal
As the universe’s entirety.
A-shielded let me then make
Flights!
Flights!
Upon the planet’s vast horizons
To pursue
What my soul
Has been in quest for.
